now what we saw today was a different rupert murdoch. at the beginning he seemed inhibited but as the time went on, he said very little. most of what he said in the first half an hour or 45 minutes could be summed up in the one sentence that he said which was, "today is the humbleest day of my life." he repeated that later on. it was in a statement which he wasn't allowed to read until the end. as the day wore on and there was about three hours of questioning, one side and another of the custard pie incident, if i can call it that, you began to see a strategy. the strategy appeared to me to be this. they followed it religiously. james murdoch, as the executive, clearly in charge of overseas operations including the british newspapers, could not deny absolutely the forensic questions. he had to engage with them. rupert murdoch could take the high road, as he did, and stay silent for much of the time. only occasionally stepping in when he felt that james murdoch needed some help. after the pie incident, we saw a different murdoch, a much m
